Hi All,
Just wondered if anyone has heard back from the advert for trainee driver talent pool for Chester and surrounding depots with closed on the 18th Feb?
I applied last September & waited 1 month until telephone interview, then until end of November for first interview.. then late Feb for the assessments.. so it’ll take a while I’m afraid. But good luck!
To the best of my knowledge nobody has heard anything from that process yet. The last few adverts have come with a warning that it may take a while for the sift to take place, so I wouldn't worry too much. I could imagine that both HR and the Driver management team who carry out the sifts are very busy at the moment with all the recruitment and training taking place.
Has anyone heard anything in relation to the Chester vacancy further to previous posts?
I applied for it and haven’t heard anything back to date. I fully appreciate the wording covering it may be a while but just wondering if anyone has heard now that it’s over three months since application closing date.
Not sure what the story is with Chester at the moment - they've been very busy working through applications for other depots with a view to filling a course that starts in July (those applicants are currently at the Assessment centre stage I believe) but I'm not sure if there are any Chester candidates in that group. Probably wouldn't do any harm to contact TfW recruitment?
Thanks, I did ring them a couple of weeks ago and got the standard “we are going through them and you will be updated in due course “. I also applied for Crewe in April so just keep my fingers crossed.
